He sure tagging something

Honestly that one’s on you for thinking it, we all knew this year was not gonna be our year - only another gritted-teeth optimism and effort year.

2019 or 2020, depending on where you lived now THAT was a “what the fuck happened this was my YEAR!”

I wrote my comment in the assumption that there is no immediately obvious cause of damage.

The assumption a carrier- with more bulkheads/damage control teams/position at the heart of a formation suddenly taking critical damage and/or sinking without any warning of incoming enemy planes/missiles would generate the exact amount of panic it sounds like it should. I suppose I kind of missed that in the original comment.

A nuclear device detonating underneath would generate a great amount of concern from the international community, especially if Iran immediately says “yo that wasn’t us”

Without reading an article, but I will assume you mean a magical macguffin weapon just…sinks it and no one knows what happened. The response depends on a few things.

A macguffin weapon like a Deathstar type where it can fire at single target position would give most Threat analysis away and the immediate questions to answer would be 1. How much energy/fuel/ammunition does it cost to fire. (If a broke country can afford a mega laser - how don’t I have one?) 2. How does it target (radar can be blocked, is it manually aimed as direct fire/ parabolic like artillery) 3. How can it be avoided (like blocking radar to aim, or like can a physical obstruction block the firing angle. 4. Can it be destroyed (is it susceptible to a strike team on land to sabotage?) 5 Is there more than one.

Found the video Should Games Be Frustrating

First 8 minutes or so are red dead 2, and explain using frustration to funnel the player places or to do things. I found it some years after I played it, but even then he basically called out how I did my playthrough, which was spooky. Means the manipulation worked lol

This was intentional. Micah is antagonistic towards you from the get-go, Dutch begins to turn on you while you start to agree with Arthur (Dutch sounds less reasonable etc) . By the time you get to the island you are meant to be frustrated, tired from trying to “just finish the damn game” and you’re stranded with the 4 people you (the player) like the least - right after at least 2 of them bungled the heist in Saint Denis that got you in this mess. All the levels are just shooting gallery type beats to vent your frustration. There was a video on YouTube about emotional manipulation of the player that was a great write-up about this phenomena in RDR2, and why the ending mission American Venom feels so cathartic.

Edit: I actually found it! “Should Games Be Frustrating”. The first 8-9 minutes are largely Red Dead 2 and trails.off with that theme of using frustration to funnel player emotion, so I dont think you need to watch the whole thing.

but it’s a single player game

I’ve had theaters only allowing one refill, but that was either with a marker to the bottom or honor system (as far as that goes for $8 drinks). But tracking it with a chip is insanity

I hate working with Medium Screen. I look at Medium Screen so long at work but then I get home and I love having Big Screen on while I scroll for anything entertaining on Little Screen.

As long as they dont show up 4 times in a row because you posted the same meme to the top 4 subs type reposting. Who cares who posted it lmao

I rev mine (lightly) because my v8 is cold and experiencing morning sickness with fluids - dont have the time to let it idle before leaving in the am.

I do not want to race you through this light, I do not want to turn first into a new neutral, i do not want to run my rpm so high on freezing cold fluids, but I will absolutely gap your soccervan if you want me to I guess because I will not sit behind your ass as you drive 10 under and then come to a fucking stop to turn into a parking lot in 2 blocks for the school.

I don’t like it but parents with kids will find anything and everything to get out of trudging 30 blocks on a muddy cold night where 3 out of 10 houses on a lane are even giving candy, listening to a temperamental 5 year old suddenly decide they’re bored and its a 30 minute walk home and the temperature is dropping faster than you thought it would?

Fast forward to 10 years old, they go out with their friends and don’t come back an hour later than you said to be home by, because they left their tracker-app phone at home and went to a party you told them not to. Sure parenting plays a part but anyone with kids will tell you those crafty shits will find a way to slip the sturdiest net.

I see why it took off and had held on. I hand out full size bars and host driveway games - aint spending big money on decor and blowups. My house is the one you WANT to come to. But I can tell you the rest of the neighborhood just shrugs and says “whatever”.

I know c/fuckcars will be mad to hear this, but Trunk or Treats have taken off for a reason, and I would say are a large reason for Halloween dieoff. Conveniently scheduled to a weekend. (Removes school night problem) During daylight so its both warmer and visibility. (Ending early due to cold or fear of kids getting snatched or bullied for candy). You only really have to decorate your car (decor judgements and TPing people for not decorating) or the venue will have cars of approved people (removes chance of abduction or assault). It removes long walks parents may dislike - and the childhood stigma of shitty/good neighborhoods. AND kids like it because you can go to multiple through the month rather than just ONE night.

Hey thanks for the version with the artists name!

I wish the person I stole it from hadn’t cropped the artists name

Bro on rainbow road so he can have the patience for all his drunk friends lol

(But srs dangerous)

Genuine ask, it (feels like) more and more fields have been shifting to soybeans for more than a decade. Who else is a major importer that justified the swing from corn and feeder silage, before China got on board?

E:googled my questions- its a high protein alternative to meat, so it is popular in China, Mexico, and EU where mass meat farms are not on the same priority or scale as the US. Its also easily swapped into animal feed, and is a good energy yield crop that costs less soil-nutrients than most other high value crops as it produces much of its own Nitrogen to grow. In scale - In those 7 years China now imports about 20-25% of all US soybeans harvested accounting for over half of all soybeans exports. The US accounts for 30% of world soybean exports.

Most farms in the US are on 3 crop rotation and private farms often use a 5 year payback plan (for land and equipment). They JUST GOT DONE paying off the loans they took to get massively into Soy. They saw Trump promise farmers the world, took loans and grew Soy, got slapped with a recession, and just as they are recovering from poor sales, they get hit again. Given 1 in 5 farms are an export farm (the 20% statistic from earlier), and where they’re at in crop rotation, I would make a (wildly uneducated) guess that 1 in 3 farms will experience extreme hardship. Either they have savings to just eat the second recession hit and will remove any edge on “getting ahead”, or will need bailout, or will go broke. The other 2/3 are on a different rotation or are major corporate farms that will find a buyer within their own meat farms system to try and mitigate the massive excess.

Sir/ma’am I’m from reddit, change is hard and scary
